μετὰ ἡσυχίας
with quietness
Here, with quietness is the opposite of meddling. Paul exhorts the meddlers to stop getting involved in other people’s affairs. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of quietness, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in a quiet and peaceful manner]
3:12 Paul underscores the strength of the command by appealing to the authority of the Lord Jesus (as in 3:6; 1 Thes 4:1-2).
• settle down: i.e., lead a quiet life instead of being involved in meddlesome activities (see 1 Thes 4:11).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
